Fungal infections are a significant global health issue that has recently captured the interest of medical professionals, dermatologists, and microbiologists. Dermatophytosis is the most frequent superficial cutaneous fungal infection. In countries with tropical and subtropical climates, like India, where heat and humidity are key variables, it is more common. All skin conditions are referred to as "Kustha" in Ayurveda. Dadru is a Pitta- Kapha pradhana twak vikara. The symptoms of tinea and dadru are fairly similar, according to modern science. Dadru and dermatophytosis are thus correlated.
